In order to take full advantage of amplifier gain-bandwidth, and obtain a shorter pulse with higher power in the terminal, it is necessary to conduct a spectrum shaping before the seed pulse being injected into the main amplifier chain to compensate the effect of gain narrowing. A new method, based on the spatial grating with variable line-space for spectrum shaping of chirped laser pulse with the central wavelength at 1053 nm and line width 6 nm, is presented. The rigorous coupled-wave theory is used to analyze the characteristics of grating diffraction, and the results indicate that this method produces no phase distortion. The diffraction efficiency, as a function of the depth and period of groove, incidenct angle, and incident wavelength, is calculated and analyzed, respectively. With proper grating parameters, the spectrum modulation depth from 0.5% to 84% can be achieved.
